anyone else find it VERY hard to connect to the e-shop? i keep on getting error code 005-4240 EVERY TIME. been trying for the past half hour. i go and do a connection test and it connects to the internet really fast... even the internet browser loads pages really fast. really puzzled as to why this awful store will seemingly NEVER let me connect to it..... i just want crashmo =(

Never had a single issue.

Since it launched it has only ever been unable to connect once.

Hmm check to see if you have the latest firmware update for your 3ds.

my system is up to date, it says... on the error code screen, it said to go to support.nintendo.com so i did. i punched in my error code and all it said was the exact same information on my 3ds but now with a phone number instead of a website. great support, nintendo.

Been having the same problem. Only noticed it after a friend was having this error and asked me about it. When I checked my 3DS eShop app I got the 005-4240 error as well.

My problem isn't getting on the store, it's browsing it. The thing looks like a mess.

i had problems galore on the store, initially i couldn't find points cards for 6 months, following that for about a month i couldnt get the points balance to update then once it did work downloads would take forever and thats after i spent an hour trying to find something. bad experience all round

eStore seems to be working again
